Seems like they make mistakes and lack discipline but it doesn’t affect them. They convert third and longs they put themselves in. They snap the ball low but score a TD on the same play. They are experts at getting something out of broken plays. Play to the whistle will be huge for CS. Gilmer breaks tackles when they should be dead to rights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be a dog fight for both teams that deserve to be playing in this game. If anyone says different on both sides they are delusional. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CS beat #1, #4, and #7 to get here. Gilmer has beaten #10 and #3 to get here. Both teams had to fight to get here...going to be a banger...

Rob123 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 I'm rooting for the buckeyes.I watched CS and Cuero last night on texan live. I think Gilmer can pass on them if they can protect the QB some.Gilmer will not stop CS from scoring at least 4 to 5 td's IMO...CS would go deep in 5A playoffs. Good luck Buckeyes !

Lol I have watched China Spring play Carthage and WOS, they are pretty fast and athletic on both sides of the ball. CS made several mistakes early against WOS, then settled in and played their game. I have watched Gilmer play Carthage, Lindale, and Celina, we all know what they are capable of. If the penalties are an issue Friday, like they were against Celina, then I believe CS will capitalize on them. In a game of matchups, I give the defensive edge to CS. Both offenses offer a lot, I can't see one being that much greater than the team. Coaching adjustments will be a major factor also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeyefandom Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 CS is an impressive team. Every guy on the field is going all out with their hair on fire, they know their assignment and they are knocking themselves out to do their job. They have good athletes across the board, and the staff is getting the most out of the talent they have. That is the key. The Cougars are playing as well as they are capable of playing since the Carthage win, and their confidence is sky high. The Cougars are playing their very best going into the Championship game. I don’t think you can say the same about Gilmer. Defensively, the Black Flag has matched up two weeks in a row against smash mouth teams, and they have really stood up to it. Gilmer has the size and athleticism up front to compete with anybody, and the schemes have been perfect. The execution especially on the offensive side has not. The Buckeyes have to tackle the Cougars and get them off the field, but they match up well on that side of the ball. Normally, holding an opponent to even 35 points would get the Buckeyes a W. Last night, the defense gave Gilmer opportunities to blow Celina completely out. That could have been a 3 TD each second and third quarter for Gilmer, but the Ferrari offense kept blowing tires. It wasn’t just uncharacteristic for the Gilmer offense, it was inexplicable. Just unforced error after unforced error. It was a mental thing, and yet the talent level still pulled Gilmer through. Big time players making big time plays in big time situations. But it was not even close to a “Best Effort” performance offensively. Bottom line is China Spring is going to have to keep playing their best to beat Gilmer and hope that is enough. For Gilmer to win, they are simply going to have to play their best game when it counts the most. Just like AT&T is supposed to be. 16 weeks into the season, it’s right where it started. It’s #OvO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen some Carthage folks say CS is going to win and maybe by more than a possession…but I think this Gilmer team is a lot better than the one that started the season. There’s an extra level of motivation too for Gilmer having lost at state last year. I’ll give my thoughts and y’all advise where I’m wrong D line - advantage CS O line - Wash QB - Gilmer slightly RB - ? CS starter left Cuero game early - adv Gilmer WR - Gilmer except CS has one that’s better than all of Gilmers but as a unit Gilmer LB - slight adv. CS Safety - Wash but CS has one you just can’t throw at not sure if Gilmer has that please advise Gilmer folks Corner - Gilmer I’ll take my Cougars in a close one, can’t pick against em. Will have to play lights out CS ... big advantage at QB 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carthage, PG and Celina are bigger than CS. The Cougars have a very deep set of really good athletes who play with their hair on fire for 48 minutes. They are not small by any means, but they are very fast to the ball. That is what impresses me. They get 100% out of the talent they have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horton beat him twice head to head and put up big numbers doing it. Tennison has the chance to go down as the best this year if he can win next week. But the CS QB is an incredible leader that can literally put the team on his back if needed. He is a Tim Tebow type player that runs their offense to perfection. It should be a great game between two really good football teams. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The state of Texas has some athletes, but I understand supporting your team! We have all seen stud athletes that stood out and and played at the next level. You don't have to label those players, their play defines them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilmer offense is way better this year than the Dawgs were. I don’t care how good your D is, you cannot go 4 and out all night and beat a Gilmer or a China Spring. The two best in the state will face each other next Friday. I say that with tears because this is the first time in years we are not playing in the semifinals. Gilmer needs to bring the trophy back where it belongs in East Texas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carthage offense struggled several times this year, leaving the defense on the hook to pick up the slack. A good defense scheme wins games, that is plain and simple why CS won. It will be a great game Friday, looking forward to watching it in person. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dawg O line had one senior with experience the rest were 1 st time starters to go along with a QB also first time starter with both running backs, first time starters, tight end first time starter. Again the defense is the reason they went 12 and 1. I am anxious to see if China Spring can handle Gilmer receivers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
